I'm stuck in traffic or 50 and Sunny in La Rochelle

I told my self I wasn't going to be one of those guys that becomes consumed by his iPhone. But but but, well bear with me for just a little more.

I've lamented about the weather, more on other peoples blogs; Sylvie and Kevin's and CG Betty's. After figuring out a few weeks back that La Rochelle is an actual place and not a state of mind I added it to the weather widget on my iPhone and became incredibly jealous when the forecast came up as 50's and sunny for a week. La Rochelle is not only a place but its apparently got some nice weather this time of year!

Adding salt to the would was a hell of a snow storm this afternoon in Southeast Michigan. A commute that normally takes me 20-25 minutes took closer to an hour and a half. My coworker Eric told me that an 11 mile stretch of I-94 was closed due to the weather but by the time that I left it was open, although I'd be lying if I said my drive home was leisurely.

The bright spot in the drive home was my iPhone. As I was stopped in traffic I clicked on the maps widget, added real time traffic info and amazingly saw that in fact I WAS sitting in traffic. How cool is it to not only sit in traffic but be able to confirm it on your phone. And the answer is yes; this is my way of making fun of myself. And no, I do not want to hear about how its dangerous for me to be looking up weather and traffic info on my cell phone while driving. At least I wasn't texting....yea, never done that!

Now If I only knew what "Lo TG Ed" meant. Of course I get confused by a lot of the over the ponder's blogs, or are we the over the ponders - I can't remember. But I think yanks such as ROTUS and myself truly are the FMB minority, but we're pulling our weight.
